Re: [MBZ] Bad news for Dan

The whole fiasco will fail in a most spectacular manner. For some reason, nobody was capable of driving today, so it gave shades of the coming Zombie disaster. Cars just inching along for miles on end. Mayhap the electric things were not running most of the time, unlike the real fuel cars.
